Increases the bookmark Colombian Vice President Angelino Garzon demanded the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the country's largest rebel group, immediately release the Chinese kidnapped on Wednesday afternoon.
These kinds of events "must end ...to start talking about peace," Garzon said in a statement, noting that the Colombian government and armed forces "will make all the efforts to find the foreign citizens."
He said that the Colombian army, police and air forces have intensified their search and rescue operations for the Chinese kidnapees.
The Chinese embassy in Colombia said on Wednesday that four Chinese workers were kidnapped by the FARC in Colombia's southern province of Caqueta Wednesday afternoon.
They were taken hostage at about 2:30 p.m. local time (1930 GMT) together with their Colombian driver near San Vicente de Caguan city when they were traveling in a rural area.
